Need to investigate if this is because we disabled Sentry. This dialog must be shown regardless of the crash reporting preferences. Moving to 8.1

Looking at the code, I think this is expected. If Sentry is disabled in the build, the crash reporter does not run and we are unable to detect crashes.

I think for now this is fine, because we will ship with Sentry enabled for 8.1. But we do need a solution for detecting crashes in case the user disabled the Send Anonymous Usage Data option. Because that also will cause the dialog to now show up.

I'm leaving this bug open, and moving it to 8.2 because I don't think we have the time to deal with this for 8.1. I'll come up with a good solution.

The crash reporter is back in build 8.1 (4811)

The bug assignee is inactive on Bugzilla, so the assignee is being reset.
